Limping the Button

Level 28 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Corrie Wunstel (Day 2)
Corrie Wunstel (Day 2)

For the second time today, Corrie Wunstel limped in on the button. The first time he did this, Ben Mintz raised out of the big blind and took down the pot.

This time, Dan Schmiech completed out of the small blind, and Mintz checked. The trio checked when the dealer fanned {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}, and both Schmiech and Mintz checked when the {j-Spades} turned. Wunstel fired out 45,000, and both blinds folded.

Phil Collins famously chose to open limp several times at the final table of the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event, and it caused a bit of a stir in the poker community. He later addressed his thought process on an episode of the Strategy With Kristy Podcast at the 2012 PCA.
